Abstract

Syntheses of (2E, 4E)-5-arylpenta-2, 4-dienoic acid hydroxyamides are described, some of which are potent inhibitors of histone deacetylase, a double bond conferring more than a 10- fold increase in potency compared with the triple bond analogue oxamflatin. Variation of substituents on the aromatic ring has a marked effect on potency, in vitro IC50 values down to 50nM being obtained.
